The Savior: Origins

Chapter Thirty-Four

I woke up alone in the bed with Ty. My hat had fallen off and laid on the pillow behind me, Ty was trapped between holding the hat and my arm.

My head moved over and I saw Florida, watching the fish again. Her bird nestled in her hair as she just sat there. Something about her was off. It wasn't her usually bubbly self.

I sat up and looked over at her, I sat up and watched her.

"Florida?" I just watched as she examined each fish. Her head moving, mimicking the movements of the creatures. I called her name again, without a response.

We sat there silently, for a few moments before she makes a sound. A small, and scared sigh. Like she just awoke from a nightmare she was glad ended.

"I remember. I remember underwater." She told me, her voice hitching slightly.

I knew what she was talking about. Well, slightly, I remembered what me and Simon would talk about sometimes. About what he remembered.

I knew that Simon was some kind of assassin before all this. I never knew about Florida. I assumed she was as well, but it wasn't something we ever really talked about.

Her being so young. It seemed weird to imagine her like that.

She looked back at me, her brown eyes glistening.

"Do you ever get that? Glimpses of memory?" I looked at her for a moment and ran a hand through my white hair.

I did, sometimes. But it was mostly nothing, tiny visions or foggy sounds from something I never did. Or never remembered doing.

I could remember the smell of hair dye, but I didn't know what color. Things like that, disappeared from my memory.

"Sometimes." I shrugged. "Not like you, or like Simon." She tilted her head, her poofy hair bouncing slightly.

"Like what?" She asked, curiously. "What was your other life like?"

I sat there for a moment. Thinking. Collecting everything that Ty ever told me, thinking of all the stories that Julie explained. I thought about my dad for a moment. The way he looked at me, like I was the most important thing in the world to him.

"I know I had black hair." I explaining, picking up the scattered pieces of my mind. "I know, I lived with my dad. He is a doctor, of some kind. Oh, and Ty, Julie and I were friends." She looked at me for a moment.

"Who is Julie?"

Wow, she wasn't there. She had never even met this girl that we were going through all this trouble for.

"Julie is, an amazing and smart person. She is a little bit cocky, she loves engineering and science. She is killer at it. She- "I paused a moment, my breath hitched.

"She liked the color green, she liked a band called Imagine Dragons, and she had a thing for Oreo's."

"What are Oreo's?"

"I have no idea." She chuckled at me, and I laughed back. She was so innocent. Every encounter, every move she made was delicate. She was a small dandelion seed, navigating through the storm of the world.

"What do we do now?" I looked out the window at the surrounding area. I saw strangers walking, enjoying life and just, having fun.

She deserved that, more than anyone.

"Let's go have some fun."

I shook Ty awake and he sat up, I saw his hands feeling around for mine. I took his in mine as he mumbled something, and running his free hand through his hair.
